So I've just obtained 3 gulper catfish about 6" each or so. I use to have 4" ones but they died from starving themselves to death. I learned that if the catfish won't eat and it looks like it's about to die and you've tried everything possible, just feed live food.
So, I have started out my new trio feeding them goldfish and want to convert to frozen fish fillets, scallops, shrimp, etc. as soon as possible. I have tried soaking them in garlic and tied a string to shrimp, and hand feeding. Nothing is working.
My next step will be to starve them for a week and then dangle frozen whole anchovies or silversides in front of them and hope to god they eat them. I will then slow give them shrimp and fish fillets. All of this frozen seafood will be stuffed with pellets.
If NONE of this works. What is the last resort? Feed goldfish?
Any help would be appreciated.
